I always assumed the slave liner used cryogenics to transport people. Being that it is a deep space exploration vessel and all. There's also the name "Pilgrim" which implies that it is used for colonization as well. We know they have the cryogenic technology, so this makes perfect sense.

Anyway, food for thought for those that pilot Pilgrims across Sirius.

I've yet to get involved in this RP situation, but from a semi-neutral point of view, aren't we forgetting the basics of games in general?

For a start, when a game affects your real life, it's time to stop playing games.

RP'ing a game scenario is totally the opposite to a real life one, a terrorist will blow up his captives if he thinks he's losing the fight, and real people get killed.

Within a game, no one gets killed, it's just a bunch of sprites/pixels with a label attached.

Slavers are targets for anti slavers, that's the way it is. You cannot apply RL ethics to a non existent entity. However, within the scenario, it's logical to apply the practice of actually saving lives simply to justify the role of an anti slaver, just as it's the role of the slaver to try to escape or destroy the evidence of his crime.

But the bottom line is quite simplistic, IT's ONLY A GAME.

I've always found the subject of hiding behinds one's slaves to be a rather sad affair.

Oh no! But if you blow me up you'll kill 5000 people! If you don't let me go you'll be a murderer and will probably have to commit suicide lol!

It's never 5100 people, or how many folks you have dancing around in that ship of yours. Its never your ship getting blown up. Its never you sitting on a command deck looking out the viewscreen at a flotilla of ships which are about to spank your day.

It's always just your cargo hold. Which they better not touch because they'll be evil for doing it. Oh. No.

The whole song and dance speaks of something a tad sillier to me. What happened to you pilgrim getting razed to the ground? What happened to CR troops storming the burning wreck and putting a blaster to the back of your head?

Oh, that's right, you'll just hit the respawn button.

Givent he hundreds of other weights that could be roaming through your head at the time it seems unfair to put the pressure of "excellent rp OLOL" on the other guy.

After all, you're the one with a gun to your head, posting that it would be oorp of them to waste bullets seems like the least of your concerns.

But yeh, if you can recover them that's great. Better dead than dying amidst the razor weeds of Malta I'd say.

you forgot the part where, if they agree to his threats they're becoming punchbags and it'll reflect to their real life and marriage status and mortgages and bullying at work.

just imagine that first mobbing victm just hitting the guy who tried it with a brick after work. all done.

I thought about getting a Nova because of this. Then I realized that people just go 'olololol Planetdive!' When you shoot turrets and shields :crazy:

Well , back on track , I find it extremely displeasing when someone scans me and goes "Drop the Slaves!". Because really , how the hell can you say if they are slaves , passengers, VIPs, your dog that ran away , etc? Some of the best RP came from this one time that I was stopped in Hamburg carrying Slaves and I said they were poor civilians , fleeing from Liberty to join the winning side of the war. A pity I had to leave that RP halfway through... Meh.

Because its other peoples RP to stop slavers. You are RPing a slaver, others RP abolitionists. If you don't want to be hunted, ship Superconductors, not contraband.
